Do y’all remember that scene from Friends when Joey is acting in a play and a spaceship ladder comes to take him away to safe the Earth (or something like that?). THAT IS HOW THIS BOOK FELT.
I was first very much confused by the time/era/or is this pure fantasy situation. I only barely grasped it at the end. It’s a slooowwww read. SLOW. And with a big lack of dialogue I spent most of my time skimming hoping some kind of action or anything of true note would take place.
Instead, our FMC spends the book running away from this one group of people out to catch her and make her help them survive. That’s it.
And then the ending????? I DON’T EVEN KNOW. At least I can say I was definitely shocked by how that unveiled itself and perturbed at how it ended.
Bleh, okay, I’m done.
Overall audience notes:
- YA Fantasy?? / Sci-Fi??
- Language: some strong
- Romance: very vague open door
- Violence: med-high
- Trigger/Content Warnings: loss of loved ones, weapons violence, kidnapping
